Tips for gift giving  
Why do vendors send baskets of cured meat products that defy the laws of everything holy and don't require refrigeration, along with stinky cheese products and stale crackers, as a gift? I received this huge box of stuff from "Igourmet," got all excited, and.... freeze dried cat food.

These are like the fruit cakes of gift-giving. Not to sound ungrateful, but send random shwag with blinking LEDs, or CHOCOLATE!! Or better yet: Mrs. Beasley's. I've never met a muffin I didn't like.

As if that weren't bad enough, I just got an email saying I had a UPS delivery. Thinking it might have been my shiny new drilled Al pedals, all bug-eyed, I ran to the mailbox area, and quickly scanned all the boxes to find... nothing. Nothing but a stupid work-related letter that easily fit in my inbox.

*sigh*

Nothing fun for me today. I didn't even hear the sonic boom of the shuttle coming in.

[edit: i guess i did hear the sonic boom. after talking to my roommate, i realize the noise i thought was our upstairs neighbors slamming their sliding glass door closed was it.]

I'd be asking who that gift came from.

oh, i know.

thing is, I'm sure it's not cheap, and it was thoughtful.

I just never understood the use of these oddly wrapped, non refrigerated meat products. They're of the devil, I say.

i actually did hear the sonic boom this morning, i know they said there'd be two, but i heard only one i think, so i guess the first woke me up in bed all naked.

it was strange to hear it. it was a crackling, not so much a boom. it was a bit unearthly, appropriately.

you know, I think we could have a sonic boom so large that it caused an earthquake that triggered a landslide that caused a tsunami, all over my head, and I'd still sleep through it.

actually... i guess i did hear it.

my roommate was just telling me he thought it was our neighbors upstairs slamming their sliding glass door, and I do remember hearing that, thinking they could be a little easier on the door so early in the morning, and went back to bed.

well, that was disappointing.
